Lemma 15.89.5. Let R be a ring. Let I = (f_1, \ldots , f_ n) be a finitely generated ideal of R. Let M be the R-module generated by elements e_1, \ldots , e_ n subject to the relations f_ i e_ j - f_ j e_ i = 0. There exists a short exact sequence
0 \to K \to M \to I \to 0
such that K is annihilated by I.
Proof.
This is just a truncation of the Koszul complex. The map M \to I is determined by the rule e_ i \mapsto f_ i. If m = \sum a_ i e_ i is in the kernel of M \to I, i.e., \sum a_ i f_ i = 0, then f_ j m = \sum f_ j a_ i e_ i = (\sum f_ i a_ i) e_ j = 0.
